Mine was the original Battlestar Galactica, although it appears people on the Internet are no longer convinced it was a ripoff. At the time (1978), everyone was convinced it was a direct borrowing of Lucas' ideas, mainly because of the spaceships. The special effects team for BSG had worked on Star Wars and Lucas and 20th Century Fox even sued (the lawsuit was dismissed in 1980).
